Hey all,
I haven't posted much recently, but wanted to share these two beautiful strains here. Both these strains have been reproduced/preserved by The Derg Corra Collective by open pollination.
This is my second year growing the Nepali, and my 4th with the Maroc here at a very wet 52N. This year we had our summer in May and June. Since then it's been mostly rain, cloud, and wind, punctuated by the occasional period of one or two reasonably bright days, so plants growing here are properly tested!
Thankfully both strains are tough as nails, having been bred/acclimatized by BlueHemp in Switzerland, and can be taken before the end of September if needs be, although I think they are a bit better taken down the first or second week of October here.
I planted the Nepalis out in their bed at the start of June, and was lucky to get 3 females, as well as a couple of males which I kept in containers, one of which I kept for pollen.
Here are the 3 females at the end of May. Note the purple stems on two of them.
Here they are again, about a week ago, having grown another 6+ feet. Sorry for the pic quality - the 117 kb limit on pic size makes it impossible to post reasonable quality pictures in some cases!
It's tough to see in the above pic, but the Nepali pheno on the left (Nep #1) has mostly green stems/foliage, whilst the other two have dark-red, almost black stems. The pheno in the middle (Nep #2) is the most purple/red, and the pheno at the other end of the bed (Nep #3) is somewhere in between the other two.
Here are some more fairly recent pics of Nep #2:
